Solitary fibrous tumors are rare neoplasms, initially defined in visceral pleura. Recently, they have been noticed to have ubiquitous distribution of human body. Solitary fibrous tumor of bladder is extremely rare especially in the females. We are presenting a bladder solitary fibrous tumor case of 62-years-old female patient who underwent transurethral enucleation instead of conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor. According to our research, this is the fourth case of solitary fibrous tumor in a female urinary bladder in the literature.
